Explanation As the water boils, it forms pockets of water vapour that want to escape from the liquid and enter air (also vapour is less dense than water so it naturally "floats" ie. moves up). Thats why the bubbles that form at the base of the pot move through the water and leave. Problem is that moving water out of the way at high speeds means you will naturally carry that water to the surface. This is what causes the volume of the water to seem to increase. The water cant just form a giant dome in the centre, the surface tension of water creates a threshold limit of how high the water can rise in the centre. To compensate for this, water adheres to the pan and moves up increasing the overall height of fluid Applying oil affects the water's ability to stick to the pan meaning only the small dome will form but the height of water wont increase which leads to pots boiling over I hope this is understandable
@@barneyDcaller no really I thing the bigger think is that oils are hydrophobic so they don't make any chemical bonds with water particals and stop then from making bonds with metal in pot but I think your explenation is albo good but Moro on the physic level
Oil is hydrophobic, which means it doesn't mix with water. It simply repels it. Try mixing oil and water together. Oil gets on the top while water is on the top. (Or reverse, I haven't tried.) So if you put oil near water, won't mix and will just reply it.
The thin layer of oil prevents the water from overflowing by increasing the hydrogen bond between the water molecules, making them having much stronger intermolecular forces which causes the boiling point to increase since more energy is needed to break the stronger bonds between the water molecules. When the boiling point increase, this causes the gravitational acceleration to be greater than 9.81 m/s^2 which forces the water to be pulled down to earth, hence preventing it from overflowing. (Obviously this is not a joke)
Right, I am all for genuinely useful kitchen witchery, but you don't need to boil pasta that vigorously. If you have a large enough vessel, an appropriate amount of water, and keep that shit at a low boil... It will never bubble like that.
Oil(triglycerides) is hydrophobic (does not like water) so does not allow water to stick to side pan as creates a layer between pan and water and does not allow water move up (cohesion tension of water ). This was good revision for my biology exam tomorrow 😅
it is because oil and water arent in the same group. its like we do lava lamp where u can see water is up and oil down there separating them. thats the theory i have. anyone?
Ur close, it’s because oil is hydrophobic (doesn’t like water), this is why water and oil are separated in lava lamps, they repel, kinda like magnets on the wrong side. So yeah, the oil on the side keeps the water down because its hydrophobic
Do open pots even overflow? Been cooking all my life, how do you guys even overflow a pasta pot without the lid? Just control the heat and if you really want you can add some oild to the water which works much better than in the video.
to explain this a little: the bubbles that form on the surface of the liquid actually use the sides of the pan to pull themselves higher! so using oil makes the pan material to slippery for the water vapor bubbles to adhere to. 😊
Or you just lower your heat. Is you are cooking pasta it doesn’t even need to be on heat till the end, I turn off my heatsource when it still need to be going for another 6 minutes because it’s not necessary.
Ok I might be wrong but oil and water are different density when you put the two together it doesn't mix oil is lighter than water and since the two don't mix the oil acts as a barrier to keep the water from flooding
Maybe because oil has higher boiling point than water. Notice when we add cold water to boiling water while cooking dumplings, it cools the bubble down. Same thing if oil has higher boiling point, it is taking away energy from the boiling water, hence “cooling it down”. That’s why it never over flow.
or just… idk, lower the heat once its about to boil. i feel like if you have an issue where your pasta water is always boiling over than its your own culinary weakness 😭 its not that hard to prevent
Oh, also! You know how when you pour a liquid and it rolls down the side of whatever you're pouring it from? Well if you put a little oil around the rim, it won't do that anymore!
Oil and water naturally don’t want to mix. I learned this in kindergarten/elementary lol 😅 it’s crazy how some people are so shocked by hacks like these. I’ve never done it but as soon as she started explaining I understood
Le me : that's the fu**ing concept of hydrophobic... 😬 Me who studied that concept with hate is showing aggression towards that concept... So therefore the above comment is no hate for the creater nor the hack
You can also do this with beer. If u get a really foamy beer, just wipe some oil on your finger and dip it into the foam which will disperse. Neat trick
Better than the wooden spoon hack. It doesn't burn your spoon and it actually never overflows (as long as you oil low enough).
🤔 I’ve done the wooden spoon and never burned it. How did that happen???
How did you burn your spoon?
How you burn a wooden spoon 😭
for me the wooden spoon never worked
I was just about to say that 🤣

So... the oil on the pan thing does actually work then, scientifically?
So surface tension is the science behind it

Only the last paragraph is relevant to why the oil works xD
Thanks. Makes a lot of sense
I need Hank Green to explain this one
Oil is hydrophobic, which means it doesn't mix with water. It simply repels it. Try mixing oil and water together. Oil gets on the top while water is on the top. (Or reverse, I haven't tried.) So if you put oil near water, won't mix and will just reply it.
@@muffincaik6424 not quite Hank Green, but thanks
@@muffincaik6424if you "mix" oil and water, im pretty sure the oil will be at the top. So yeah, what you said makes sense.
I believe they use some silicone compound to similarly stop milk from boiling over.
To be fair, I think he's a little... occupied... with other, maybe slightly more important issues at the moment. 🤷
i would be so focused and try so hard not to get distracted 😂
Can tell in which context ur telling
What
mb y’all ig my phone glitched somehow and posted the comment on this video
@@crystalgarcia6104 u can delete
@@crystalgarcia6104 what video were you supposed to comment on
honestly it makes sense that this works since oil is hydrophobic and repels water, but a cool hack overall!
I just love all your hacks and gadgets!!! You keep going strong honey!!!!❤️👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏😚
Thank you!!
If anybody is confused, I think it is because oil and water don’t mix that might not be the case though I’m just observing
Did anyone notice the "paiper"
Haha
The comment I was looking for
Searched for this comment
I was about to comment the same thing

Overflow hack:
Turn the heat down
OR just blow the overflowing bubbles, they'll calm right down. Have a try.

Oil(triglycerides) is hydrophobic (does not like water) so does not allow water to stick to side pan as creates a layer between pan and water and does not allow water move up (cohesion tension of water ).
This was good revision for my biology exam tomorrow 😅
you can also just *gently* blow the bubbles and itll pop and get back down but once more do it *_gently_*
*gently*

@@heebyweebyjeeby2809 yahh hydrophobic! i forgot that
Oil and water don't mix it is more viscous than water which is why this works.
water and oil don't mix. that is why it doesn't overflow

Yeah thats the thing, people are inpatient, they usually keep the lid on so that it takes quicker
it works because oil dosent mix with water
U could also use butter for that
It's because the oil is denser than water, therefore keeps water levels lower
cause oil and water is a hetrogeneous solution
"We're gonna get out paiper-"
My brain: "PAIPER!??"
Works with butter also
I just use a wooden spoon
So basically water and oil 😂
They don’t mix so putting oil ontop of the water prevents it from passing
Simples 🎉😊
The hack is bring water to boil then turn down the heat like your meant to gaha
Bcuz water and oil can’t mix
Did ppl forget water and oil dont mix
That is the cutest little pink gas stove!! Where did you get it from 😊❤
Oil is hydrophobic, it repels water, so makes sense
Just put a wooden spoon over de pot .. 🎉🎉 easy and cheap. Works for evertthing... Patatoes, rice, pasta... Etc...🎉🎉
Oil is hydrophobic, so it doesn’t mix with water.

You could also use butter! My grandma always kept a stick of butter just for pots to keep them from boiling over.
Omg! She gave this 10/10!! World will never be the same! 😂
You should first oil it then turn the stove on
Ah, I just made pasta yesterday, I needed to see this!

You can also put a bit of oil on the lip of a cup and whatever your poring won't flow down the side
10/10 video
I mean oil and water don’t mix so this trick doesn’t surprise me
or just… idk, lower the heat once its about to boil. i feel like if you have an issue where your pasta water is always boiling over than its your own culinary weakness 😭 its not that hard to prevent
The oil breaks the cohesive force of the water and the pot by disruption of surface tension
That’s actually a pretty good tool if you don’t know how to pit cherries.
No butter gadgets today!!😂
Oh, also!
You know how when you pour a liquid and it rolls down the side of whatever you're pouring it from? Well if you put a little oil around the rim, it won't do that anymore!
Love your shirt 💜
It has less water to prove the hack
It's a good hack!
petition for more videos than shorts.
We want to see the cuteness for atleast 10 mins, cmon!
creepy..
Yeah the paiper😂😂take lessons
You can also use wooden or bamboo chopstick and just put it near the edge and wait then it won’t overflow
My mom usually just pours a little bit of oil into the water and it works like a charm😊
My grandma just stares at the pot and the boiling water just 👋 bye bitch im not dying today 🤣🤣🤣
Oil and water naturally don’t want to mix. I learned this in kindergarten/elementary lol 😅 it’s crazy how some people are so shocked by hacks like these. I’ve never done it but as soon as she started explaining I understood
Just lay a wooden spoon over the top of the pan. Saves having to get rid of that greasy layer.
Water is polar while oil is non polar. Unlike stuff repel and tend not to intermix.
Lifehack, do not but the heat so high up
i mean…it‘s basic chemistry, really.
Past the line mom joke right there 😂
You can also use a wooden spoon or blow on the bubbles
or you could just pour a little bit of oil on top haha it acts as a sort of barrier to stop the bubbles from rising
Oooh! This has been my constant problem 😂 I'll try this. Thanks!
Another trick i learned was instead of oil when your water bubbles too much is by dropping an ice cube in the water.
You can place a wooden spoon on top
It’s the same with foam in beer. You can use oil from your face to make it go down because it destroys the delicate shell of a bubble
Paper is spelt wrong
Did anyone else notice that she spelt paper wrong ?
Wow perfect hack actually
The oven in the background is a paid actor
Omg, I’m definitely gonna try it, next time I cook spaghetti. If this works, it could save me a lot of trouble!
This is cool🎉
Le me : that's the fu**ing concept of hydrophobic...
😬
Me who studied that concept with hate is showing aggression towards that concept... So therefore the above comment is no hate for the creater nor the hack
Life saver
"paiper"
The wooden spoon hack actually works better then the iil and you won’t have to take the time or burn you hand.
You can also do this with beer. If u get a really foamy beer, just wipe some oil on your finger and dip it into the foam which will disperse. Neat trick
Paper not paprir
Any suggestions for boiling milk?
oil is hydrophobic
I just pour a lil oil in
Or save the oil and just place a wooden spoon on top dose the same thing.
First u should boil something then put spattula on it and the boiled thing will not over flow
You can try
Water and oil don’t mix that’s why
Just add oil to the water before boiling that should work the same
one time i just blew on overflowing water to be funny but then it actually worked
Cuz oil make it too slippery for water to climb up.😂
But who only boils with a half a pot of water? The issues come into play when you’re using way more water. This is whack. Not a hack.
Just...lower the fire?
Your hair. That flame. I’m anxious.
I love paiper
BRO I ALWAYS SEE THESE VIDEOS RIGHT AFTER I COOK WHAT THE HACKS FOR
"PAIPER"💀
(thats how they wtote in the captions)
(Prob a mistake)
(No hate)
Why would u waste gas and oil? Just make the flame lighter 😂
obviously, oil is hydrophobic.
Whoaaaa this is an amazing secret!!! I’ll definitely do this next time I boil pasta!
This used to be a known thing for older gen. Just pour a little oil into your pot of boiling water, skip the spreading it.
Girl can you try milk tea and try it
has the text always been there
